"Hi, I'm really glad you all agreed to be here." Renjun started, looking at the several pupils who had joined the club the two of you made. "So you all know why we're here." He paused looking around. "We need a teacher- a real one with experience against the dark arts."
"Why?" A kid asked.
"Because you-know-who's back you idiot." Nari retorted, earning a glare from her best friend. "We agreed I'd talk and you'd shut your mouth." He hissed through his teeth, stressed as his plans were already heading south. "Sorry who pissed in your fruitloops today grandad." She rolled her eyes and sat back down in her seat motioning for him to continue.
Renjun cleared his throat and spoke on. "Anyway, we know he is back-" "We don't know for sure, we have no proof." The boy said and everyone turned towards Mark. At the sudden attention, Mark looked down and avoided the stares. "Mark can tell us more about how Diggory was killed." Another spoke up. Everyone fell silent in unspoken anticipation.
Mark sighed and stood up. "I'm not talking about Cedric if that's why you're here you might as well leave." He spoke, really fed up with the whole situation. "I'm leaving." He said, getting up and walking towards where Nari and Renjun were to retrieve his coat. "They just think I'm a freak." He muttering, hastily grabbing it.
At that, Nari frowned. "You're not a freak." She said lowly, to avoid any eavesdroppers. "Is it true you can produce a Patronus charm?" Chenle asked, genuinely curious. "Yes, I've seen it." Hermione answered. "And he killed a basilisk." Neville added. "Third year he fought off about 100 dementors at once." Jeno added. "And last year he really did fight off you-know-who." Renjun concluded.
"We need your help, Voldemort is back." Nari stated and many were in shock that she had said his name.
"Now, Dumbledore's Army, who's in?"
Chenle was the first to stand up, joining the three at the front, Jeno following behind him and one by one everyone followed suit.

"You've done a lot of life risking things." The girl said, when she caught up to Mark. He tilted his head to the right to see Nari who was looking straight ahead, stuffing her hands into her pocket.
"Perks of having an adventurous life I guess." He shrugged. "Or being the chosen one." She added. Mark chuckled a bit, running a hand through his hair, he let out a sigh and turned back to the girl. "I'm not going to lie, when I first saw you back in second year when you joined the first year, I thought you were a Slytherin."
Nari quirked up a brow in amusement. "Why?" Mark shrugged. "You're very determined and I mean you have this whole cool dark vibe." "Slytherin's aren't all that bad." She commented nonchalantly, kicking stones under her foot. "I thought you hate Donghyuck and Jaemin?" He asked, walking into the hall with the girl. Many stared were attracted to them.
"People have a lot more to them then what they show, you just have to be patient." With that, Nari retreated back to her table, ruffling Renjun's hair as she sat down.

"Hey." The soft voice broke Nari out of her deep thoughts, she was currently sitting at the windowsill of one of the hallways. Jeno approached her, his calmness radiating off of him. "Hey." She replied, leaning her head back, feeling less energetic than before.
"I saw you sitting here, why are you alone?" He stood closer to her as pupils rushed by him, yelling out quick apologies as they chased each other around. Nari shrugged, looking out the window once again, the array of children with smiles on their faces, making Nari feel happy, yet sad. "I don't have many friends to hang out with, Renjun but that's about it."
"I can be your friend." Jeno smiled, holding his hand out. Nari eyed the hand wearily. "If you shake it, I'll become your friend." He exclaimed, excited. Nari laughed at his reaction and shook her head. "I don't really do friendships, I'm not the friendliest."
"I think you're pretty nice."
Nari was silent after the compliment, not really knowing how to handle one. Instead she bit her lip to stop herself from smiling and hid it with a scowl. "Shut up before I staple your mouth together." She pushed herself off the sill and dusted off her clothes. "Does this mean we're friends?" Jeno asked cheekily, to which Nari dramatically rolled her eyes and placed her hand in his, shaking it. "Whatever."
